Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I choose a volunteer? First complete your profile with information on what help you are looking for. Then browse through the list of volunteers and create a support request.
  • How long will the supporter be available? We ask our volunteers to make commitments of at least six months to one year in order to ensure that the participant is able to fully benefit from the relationship. If a volunteer must leave the relationship early, we request at least one month's notice in order to search for a replacement volunteer with similar background.
  • Relationship is not going well or I am concerned about the connection, what to do? We encourage letting the volunteer know about the situation and contact the Admin Immediately. We will provide our full support to resolve the situation in a positive and satisfactory manner.
